Diane Keaton, American film producer - biography; photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org: Diane Keaton (born January 5, 1946) is an American film producer, director, and Academy Award winning actor. Keaton began her career as a stage actor, and made her screen debut in 1970. Primarily known as a comic actor, she has claimed that she is "tailor-made for comedy". Many of her most popular films were those produced in the 1970s and 1980s with director Woody Allen. The films she is best known for include The Godfather (1972), Annie Hall (1977), Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977), Reds (1981), Father of the Bride (1991), The First Wives Club (1996), Marvin's Room (1996), and recently Something's Gotta Give (2003). Keaton was born Diane Hall in Los Angeles, California, the oldest of four children. Her father Jack Hall (1921�1990) was a civil engineer, and her mother Dorothy Keaton (b. 1921) was a homemaker and amateur photographer. Her father came from an Irish American Catholic background, and her mother came from a Methodist family. Keaton was raised a Methodist by her mother. Her first ambition to become an actor came after seeing her mother win the "Mrs. Los Angeles" pageant for homemakers. Keaton has also credited Katherine Hepburn as one of her inspirations, whom she admires for playing strong and independent women. Keaton is a 1964 graduate of Santa Ana High School. During her time there she participated in singing and acting clubs at school, and starred as Blanche in a school production of A Streetcar Named Desire. After graduation she attended Santa Ana College, and then Orange Coast College as an acting student, but dropped out to pursue an entertainment career in Manhattan Upon joining the Screen Actors Guild she adopted the surname of Keaton, her mother's maiden name, as there was already a registered Diane Hall. For a brief time, she also moonlighted nightclubs with a singing act. She would later revisit her act when she made a cameo in Radio Days as a nightclub singer. Keaton began studying acting at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City. She initially studied acting under the Sanford Meisner technique, an ensemble acting technique made popular in the 1920s by Meisner, a New York acting director. She has described her acting technique as, "[being] only as good as the person you're acting with ... As opposed to going it on my own and forging my path to create a wonderful performance without the help of anyone. I always need the help of everyone!" In 1968 Keaton became an understudy on the original Broadway production of Hair. She gained some notoriety for her refusal to disrobe in the portions of the musical when the entire cast performed nude, even though nudity in the production was optional for actors (those who performed nude received a $50 bonus). After acting in Hair for nine months, she auditioned for a part in Woody Allen's production of Play It Again, Sam. After nearly being passed over for being too tall (at 5 ft 8 in. she is two inches taller than Allen), she won the part. [br]
